Despite interest from rival clubs, Luke Garner has decided to stay with the Penrith Panthers on a two-year deal.
The off-contract forward had some decisions to make when it came to adding to his 130 NRL-game career and his potential premierships.
Currently a two-time premiership winner with the Panthers, it was the work ethic and constant diligence shown from Gardner that impressed the Panthers top brass the most.
“Luke has been an outstanding addition to the Panthers since arriving in 2023 and we’re excited to have him commit to the club for a further two seasons,” Panthers General Manager of Football Shane Elford said.
“He is a true professional who prepares diligently and consistently delivers for the team. His work ethic, versatility and team-first attitude are highly valued within our group.”
The club also praised Garner for the work he does off the field as well.
“Luke is not only a high-quality footballer, but a terrific person who represents our club with integrity,” Cameron said.
“He is someone who genuinely invests in the community, whether that’s through charity work or engaging with our fans, and he consistently gives his time to make a positive difference.
